Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a valve providing air ventilation in and out of ballast tanks in ships, and especially to an air vent head providing free flow of air in and out of ballast tanks while at the same time prevents seawater to enter uncontrollably into the ballast tanks via the air inlet.
  • the stability of a see going vessel is related to many factors provided for by the shape of the hull and other technical features of the ship providing a specific hydro dynamical behaviour. For example, it is common to be able to control stability and/or reduce rolling and heave of ships by controlling and adjusting water levels in ballast tanks.
  • the added or reduced amount of water in ballast tanks will submerge or lift the centre of mass of the ship and therefore affect the stability as known to a person skilled in the art.
  • the ballast tanks can for example be used to lift or submerge the ship, i.e. trimming the ship such that the most effective designed waterline of the ship is in use irrespective of the amount of cargo on board the ship.
  • ballast tanks there are also many other types of installations used in sea water that utilize ballast tanks for different reasons.
  • water filled tanks may be used to stabilize an installation, but it is also known to use ballast tanks to trim hydro dynamical properties of for example floating bodies used in ocean wave power plants.
  • the floating bodies are used to pick up the upward and downward movements of waves which are then converted to for example electric power.
  • the natural frequency of an ocean power plant may be adjusted by weight adjustments of floating bodies to be coinciding with the frequency of the ocean wave system thereby increasing the amount of energy that can be converted from the wave energy (resonance).
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a typical scenario when using a water filled ballast tank on board a ship.
  • the ballast tank is a closed tank and when the water moves to one side as illustrated in FIG. 1 a, it is easy to understand that air above the water level in the tank will be pushed upwardly on the left hand side of figure is and the pressure build up on this side can be huge.
  • On the other side (the right hand side in FIG. 1 a ) it is generated a suction since the air volume increases (lower air pressure).
  • air vent heads on each side of the ballast tank, for example on top of the weather deck and wherein the air vent heads are in fluid contact with the ballast tank via pipes.
  • the technical problem is best illustrated with reference to the situation depicted in FIG. 1 a.
  • the air vent head is open to let air flow in and out of the ballast tank wherein the air flow direction is dependent on the movement back and forth of the ship.
  • the situation dictates that the air vent head must be open to let air flow into the ballast tank. This leaves an opening which again can cause seawater to enter the ballast tank. Therefore there must be a valve arranged inside the air vent head closing the opening if water is entering inside the air head vent from the inlet/outlet opening having contact to the surrounding environment on the weather deck, and otherwise the vent is to be open, i.e. when the water leaves the air vent head through the inlet/outlet opening the water came in through, the valve should open up again.
  • the buoyancy forces on the floating body in water is used to lift the floating body towards the opening of the air vent head in fluid communication with the ballast tank and thereby closing the opening when the floating body reaches the opening.
  • the buoyancy forces on the floating body is much less in air, the floating body will not be lifted enough in air to close the opening in the air vent head in fluid communication with the ballast tank.
  • This principle of distinguishing between air and water can only work within some specific limits because the air and water is also streaming through the air vent head and is not static. Therefore, aero dynamical properties as well as hydro dynamical properties of the floating body inside the air vent head must also be considered.
  • the air vent head depicted in FIG. 2 is a model named WIN2000 commercial available by Winteb, disclosed on http://www.winteb.com/our-products/win2000-air-pipe-heads, comprising a ball shaped floating body 20 inside a cavity 21 in the air vent head body.
  • a first inlet/outlet opening 22 may be in fluid communication with the open surrounding air and the cavity 21 .
  • a second inlet/outlet opening 24 (facing towards a weather deck) may be in fluid communication with the ballast tank via a pipe (not shown) arranged down to the ballast tank and to the cavity 21 via the opening 23 at the top side of the cavity 21 .
  • the ball shaped floating body 20 will be lifted towards the opening 23 and may close the opening 23 .
  • the ball shaped floating body 20 will fall downwards and the opening 23 will be unblocked again.
  • the ball shape of the floating body has some unwanted features with respect to laminar or turbulent flow of air passing the body.
  • the round shape alters the air pressure when a laminar air stream passes the round shaped body. This effect is known from an air plane wing that has a rounded upper surface and a flat surface on the bottom side of the wing. The air pressure on the upper surface will decrease and the net effect is an uplift force from the pressure difference that can lift the airplane up in the air.
  • the aero dynamic property of a ball shaped body exposed to streaming air is well known to be extremely complex and difficult to control.
  • One consequence of the ball shaped floating body in the prior art solution disclosed in FIG. 2 is that the proper operation of the air vent head is limited by the velocity of the air streaming through the air vent head.
  • the air stream may be extremely high if there is an abrupt and large rolling of the ship. This can bring the speed of the air up to very high levels.
  • the example of prior art air vent head WIN2000 disclosed in FIG. 2 has a typical air flow speed limit of 4 m/s. Above this speed limit the ball shaped floating body is lifted and is closing the opening towards the ballast tank.
  • the forces for example the suction
  • the ball shaped floating body can be jammed permanently or be broken by the forces from the air stream flow. This phenomenon is often referred to as “suction blocking.”
  • the air vent head named Aero 1.1 manufactured by the applicant of the present invention uses a disc shaped floating body that can be lifted by the water and close the inlet/outlet opening in fluid communication with the ballast tank as discussed above.
  • the disc shaped body has a rounded edge that permits laminar flow of air streaming around the shape of the body, and since the top surface and the bottom surfaces are parallel the uplift force from the flow of air itself is minimized.
  • the disc shaped body is guided up and down inside the cavity of the air vent head by a centered rod going through a center of the disc. Therefore this solution may operate at higher air speeds.
  • the floating body is arranged with a larger diameter of the disc shaped body to be able to be lifted quickly by water entering the air vent head. Therefore the floating body is also resting up from the bottom of the air vent head to permit the water to flow beneath the floating body. This makes it also more probable that air flowing in the air vent head will lift the floating body. Therefore there is a similar air speed limit as discussed above for the proper operation of this solution.
  • the air speed limit for the Aero 1.1 is typical 8 m/s.
  • an improved air vent head would be advantageous, and in particular a more efficient and/or durable air vent head would be advantageous.
  • an air vent head for utilizing properties of turbulent fluid flow passing an example of embodiment of a floating body arranged inside a cavity of the air vent head, wherein a first inlet/outlet opening of the cavity is in fluid communication with the atmosphere, while another inlet/outlet opening of the cavity is in fluid communication with a closed and partly filled water tank.
  • a first inlet/outlet opening of the cavity is in fluid communication with the atmosphere
  • another inlet/outlet opening of the cavity is in fluid communication with a closed and partly filled water tank.
  • an object of the present invention to provide an air vent head that solves the above mentioned problems of the prior art with a shape of a floating body arranged inside the air vent head utilizing physical properties related to induced turbulent flow of air passing the floating body.
  • a floating body comprising an upper section and a lower section, wherein the floating body is arranged inside a cavity of an air vent head, wherein the lower section of the floating body is facing towards an inlet/outlet opening of the air vent head in fluid communication with the atmosphere and the cavity, and wherein the upper section is facing towards an inlet/outlet opening in fluid communication with the cavity and a closed tank, wherein air flow streams entering the air vent head from the surrounding atmosphere passes the lower section of the floating body as a laminar type of air flow streams, and when the laminar air streams passes the upper section of the floating body a turbulence inducing arrangement located around the upper section of the floating body induces a turbulent air flow stream in a section of the cavity of the air vent head located between the upper section of the floating body and the inlet/outlet opening in fluid communication with the closed tank.
  • an air vent head comprises a cavity with a first opening in fluid communication with open air surrounding the air vent head and a second opening in fluid communication with a closed tank, wherein the cavity inside the air vent head is providing controlled fluid communication between the first opening and the second opening dependent on a position inside the cavity of a floating body arranged inside the cavity, the floating body comprises an upper section and a lower section, wherein the lower section is facing towards the first opening, wherein the second section is facing towards an opening arranged in a top surface of the cavity, wherein this opening provides a fluid communication channel between the cavity and the second opening, a surface of the lower section is arranged to provide a defined low value of the Reynold number for air flows passing the lower section while there is arranged a turbulence inducing arrangement in operational contact with the upper section providing an increase of the Reynold number in the air flows passing from the lower section via the upper section and into a part of the cavity surrounding the upper part of the floating body.
  • the invention is particularly, but not exclusively, advantageous for obtaining an air vent head for ballast tanks on board ships.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a prior art ballast tank arrangement
  • FIG. 2 illustrates an example of prior art air vent head.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates an example of embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates some details of the embodiment in FIG. 3 .
  • FIG. 5 illustrates a cross section of an example of embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG. 6 illustrates another position of the floating body depicted in FIG. 5 .
  • FIG. 7 illustrates some non-limiting dimensions of an example of embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG. 8 illustrates an example of embodiment of a floating body according to the present invention.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates an example of embodiment of the present invention depicting an outer appearance of the example of embodiment of an air vent head.
  • the air vent head may be located on a weather deck of a ship wherein the surface of the air vent head comprising an inlet/outlet opening 32 is facing towards the surface of the weather deck.
  • the inlet/outlet opening 32 may be in fluid contact with a ballast tank via a pipe attached to the bottom surface of the air vent head.
  • a cover plate 30 protects an inlet/outlet opening 31 of the air vent head in fluid communication with the open air.
  • the cover plate 30 may also serve to stop rolling waves hitting the air vent head opening 31 thereby reducing the possible amount of water that may enter the inlet/out opening 31 .
  • FIG. 4 illustrates the same example of embodiment as depicted in FIG. 3 but with the cover plate 30 removed.
  • a floating body 40 arranged inside a cavity 41 is then visible.
  • the inlet/outlet opening 32 in FIG. 3 has a fluid communication channel in the back of the body of the air vent head that ends up in the opening 42 disclosed in FIG. 4 .
  • the floating body 40 has lower mass density than water and if the floating body 40 is lifted due to buoyancy forces from water entering the internal cavity 41 of the air vent head via the opening 31 , the floating body 40 is lifted upwards and may close the opening 42 . If the water inside the cavity 41 retracts out of the inlet/outlet opening 31 in fluid communication with the open air, the floating body 40 will fall downwards thereby unblocking the opening 42 .
  • FIG. 5 illustrates a cross section of the example of embodiment illustrated in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 .
  • the floating body 40 is arranged inside the cavity 41 and movements up and down of the floating body 40 is guided by a rod 50 located inside the body of the floating body but attached externally to a bottom surface of the cavity 41 .
  • the air stream When air is streaming from the open air into the internal cavity 41 via the inlet/outlet opening 31 the air stream is a relative laminar type of air stream.
  • FIG. 5 there is for example a possible geometric relationship between the wall section 53 of the internal cavity 41 and side faces of the floating body 40 facing towards the side wall 53 .
  • the wall 53 runs in parallel but with a distance from the side face of the floating body 40 . This ensures that air flow streams passing this section of the floating body from the inlet/outlet 31 is a laminar type of air stream. This is just an example of an embodiment enhancing this effect. Other examples of embodiments are within the scope of the present invention.
  • turbulent air streams are characterized by having a higher Reynold number compared to the laminar air stream for example found along the lower section 52 of the floating body 40 .
  • the dominant force will be an inert force from the air stream acting on the upper surface 56 of the floating body 40 making it difficult for the floating body 40 to move upwards in the air stream.
  • the effect is therefore that air streams passing the floating body 40 from the inlet/outlet 31 and upwards in the cavity 40 do not lift the floating body 40 towards the opening 42 as may happen compared with the cited prior art solutions.
  • a turbulence inducing arrangement according to the present invention.
  • a turbulence inducing arrangement may be located on a section of the side walls of the cavity 41 of the air vent head being in operational contact with the upper section 56 of the floating body 40 , i. e. induces the required increase in the Reynold number in the cavity 40 above the floating body 40 .
  • the floating body 40 may be arranged with a body being hollow providing a buoyancy if water enters the cavity 41 via the inlet/outlet opening 31 .
  • the mass density of the floating body 40 should be lower than the mass density of water.
  • a rubber sealing member 60 , 83 on top of the indent surface 54 of the floating body 40 there is arranged a rubber sealing member 60 , 83 on top of the indent surface 54 of the floating body 40 .
  • this rubber sealing member 60 , 83 on top of the indent 54 helps in sealing the opening 42 of the internal cavity 41 of the air vent head when the floating body 40 has been lifted up to the opening 42 .
  • the rubber sealing member 60 , 83 may be arranged as a ring shaped piece of rubber, wherein an outer side face of the ring shaped rubber sealing member is arranged with a V shaped cut out 84 .
  • the upper section of the rubber in the V shaped rubber sealing member 84 will have a tension force from the rubber that will push this part of the V shaped rubber sealing member 84 towards a part of the roof of the internal cavity 41 surrounding the opening 42 thereby sealing the cavity 41 completely from the opening 42 .
  • FIG. 7 there is depicted an example of embodiment of the present invention comprising some non-limiting examples of physical dimensions of the air vent head. These dimensions given in cm are comparable with the dimensions found in the prior art example of air vent head WIN2000. In the example of embodiment as illustrated in FIG. 7 the air speed limit for proper operation of the air vent head has been measured to be 40 m/s.
  • FIG. 8 illustrates an example of embodiment of a floating body 40 that is for example used in the example of embodiment of an air vent head according to the present invention that is disclosed in FIGS. 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 and 7 .
  • the shape of the body is looking like a cylinder shaped body but with a smaller radius of the bottom surface, wherein the radius of the cylinder gradually increases upwards towards the sharp edge 55 of the indent 54 .
  • the size of the indent 54 i. e. how far inward towards a centre line of the floating body the indent should go is of less importance for inducing the turbulence.
  • the shape of the floating body 40 above the indent 54 is a conical type of shape. The shape is primarily dictated by the fact that there is an opening 80 from the bottom side 81 of the floating body providing space and guiding means for a rod 50 extending from the bottom surface of the cavity 41 .
  • this arrangement provides a stabilization of the floating body inside the cavity 41 , for example maintaining the space between the walls of the cavity 41 and the side surfaces of the lower section of the floating body 40 as depicted in FIG. 5 .
  • the smaller radius of the bottom surface 81 of the floating body 40 in this example of embodiment provides a less chance that unwanted air may come under the bottom surface and start an unwanted lifting of the floating body.
  • the circumference of the floating body 40 may for example increase gradually from the bottom side 81 up to the edge 55 of the indent 54 .
  • the sharp edge 55 of the indent 54 is not the only means for inducing turbulence in the air stream passing the indent 54 . It is possible to use any form of carvings, holes, grooves, cut outs etc. in the side surface of the floating body 40 . This may also provide different solution to the shape and form of for example a rubber sealing used for sealing the opening 42 .
  • a turbulence inducing arrangement alternatively may be located on a wall of the cavity 41 of the air vent head the floating body 40 is operational located in as long as the turbulence is induced in the space of the cavity 41 around the upper section 56 of the floating body 40 .
  • the turbulent part of the air stream must be induced in a space arranged in the air vent head between the upper section of the floating body 40 and an inlet/outlet opening in fluid communication with for example a ballast tank.
  • the floating body 40 should be able to provide a sealing of the inlet/outlet opening in fluid communication with the ballast tank.
